If there was one decision that I could change during the duration of my college experience, it would definitely be to be more active and join campus organizations. I think a lot of us tend to isolate ourselves when we start college and fall into the routine trap of just going to classes and then coming back to our dorms and vegging out. It's super easy to do that and if I could change anything about my college experience it would be to venture out and experience different clubs and organizations my college has to offer. The good thing is, it is never too late! Regardless if you are a sophomore or an upcoming senior, get out there, make friends and experience something other than your dorm TV!

Moving in with your best friend can either make or break a relationship, so my one golden piece for you is to do the following: always communicate your problems with your roommate. Keep in mind the fact that before you moved in with each other, you were best friends that could tell each other anything. This rule/standard should not change once you move in, if there is a problem, speak up! Don't shy away or settle for anything less than what you deserve. The problem could be as small as who takes out the trash each week, regardless of how big or small the issue is, the faster you acknowledge the problem and confront your roommate, the faster it will be resolved and alleviate any tension between you two. I hope this helps!
